So here it is with black contrast.. Quite nice, I like it. But she does not :/ Ok well, I guess it's her money.
I tried different tapes, and think the pink benotto celo tape fits best. Not a 100% match but the shinyness let's you get away with it. I thnk. I will also go for white hoods and a white ladies turbo saddle, since the new Selle Italie models have black rails.
I threw some cheap MKS pedals on because the DA pedals had black backplates. And she would struggle too much with toe clips ^^ either way. The liners I changed to grey because I didn't want to distract from the frame, but now I think a contrast color would look better. White probably. Ok, so all white now :)
I think she will need a 80mm stem with this frame size. I tried a 3T stem but is looks totally wrong in there. If I don't find a cheap DA one I will switch back to my 120mm Dura Ace.
